03 December 2003
i love december - the seemingly endless celebration of Christ's birth and all the birthdays in between. some mentionables:

  • hannah - it's been two & a half years since i saw you, but thanks for keeping in touch and all your prayers. have a blessed birthday & don't forget to share more about your "kiwi" adventures!

  • gilbert - can you believe we've known each other for nearly 10 years? wah, we're 'low la' ^^ i really do hope you can come visit soon - after all, you're only what, 3 hours away? it's great that you have job security for the moment. keep striving for the best & put Him first - then your possibilities are limitless!

    immensely enjoying working alongside and learning from candace. i guess i have to refine *ahem* ACQUIRE some hip hop skills. the office moving is not something i'm looking forward to, though.

    it's been so many years since i saw quentin - i wonder how his preparations are going? i wish i could be present at his big day, but i guess that wasn't meant to be. I PRAY YOU WILL SEEK & FIND GOD'S BEAUTY AND PEACE, BIEW GOH! oh, did i tell you that the car adaptor is quite useful after all? heh

    THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE CHRISTMAS SURPRISE, LISA! i am abundantly blessed by our close friendship, and all the insights, laughs, tears and memories along the way. can't wait until you return, and we can build on this five-year "collection"! ^_^

    as i mentioned last time, i sense that right now i'm being put through some refining process. in the moment it's brutal, but the long term results will outweigh the original state, if i earnestly seek out His will. i prayed for discomfort, so i guess this is it. ;)

    i'm pressed but not crushed, persecuted not abandoned
    struck down but not destroyed
    i'm blessed beyond the curse, for His promise will endure
    and His joy's gonna be my strength
    though the sorrow may last for the night
    His joy comes with the morning...
